28 1913 british start grea t flanking move allies drive checked 150,000 lost by c f bertelli germans burl new army to protection of vital railroads hint of landing of troops near os tend under cover of fleet slips past censor triumph for british a cryptic but significant paragraph slipped by a strict censorship by c f bertelli head of the paris staff of the interna tional news service last night leads to the belief that the british backing their move by a great naval action have landed a force at ostend for a flank drive on the germans the paragraph cautiously worded to pass the censors says while the flighty struggle is proceeding on land so favor ably to the allies a tremendous flanking operation is being carried out by the british of which the communiques have as yet made no mention this development will probably prove the decisive factor in the huge attack now in progress it is a surprise for the germans and another triumph for the british fleet an operation analogous of the dardanelles effort is being carried out cn the shell-swept sands of what was once the most famous summer gambling resort in belglum ostend mr bertelli has scored more and greater war beats than any other correspondent in europe he was first to weak through the censorship with the victory of the marne a year ago he was first to tell of the moving of the french capital from pari â€” which he did by cabling i am sending half my staff to bordeaux " he was first to tell of the zeppelin raids on paris paris sept 2j â€” a very brilliant tactical success but not et a strategical victory this is the unanimous verdict of the military critics with whom i to-day discussed the champagne battle itsjmmediate result is the massing of strong german forces north of tnhure in order to protect the fateral railroad supplying the german forces between barry au bac and the argonne and from which french batteries are now only two miles distant these reinforcements are necessarily being drafted from i other points on the western front where no infantry action is now in progress the movements of these troops fore shadow other french attacks against weakened portions of the line and it is confidently believed the offensive will be come general aeroplanes are active at this moment the whole front is being drenched with shells and air torpedoes night and day the swift movement of the germans is being conducted behind a 400-mile curtain of fire but is watched by hundreds of french aeroplanes never before have so many aeroplanes appeared above the huge battle line every hour new squadrons rise and a perpetual air battle ac companies the ceaseless roar of thousands of guns while the mighty struggle is proceeding on land so far favorably to the allies a tremendous flanking operation is being carried out by the british of which the communiques have as yet made no mention this development will probably prove the decisive factor in the huge attack now in progress it is a surprise for the germans and another triumph for the british fleet an operation analogous to the dardanelles ef fort is being carried out in the shell-swept sands of what was once the most famous summer gambling resort in belgium this is a part of the huge effort the allies are i making before winter sets in to cripple permanently germany and turkey on all points admiral jellico's fleet's activities are by no means confined to the north sea section f his 3,000 ships with french units are even now covering operati the shores of the aegean and of asia minor everything poinu â– fact that the allies are delivering the blow for which they were preparing throughout the summer i germans lose 50,000 men news reaching me from champagne tells of fearful carnage among the retreating germans this is in fact one of the bloodiest of battles and which for the number of victims surpasses any previous combat in french warfare on a front of only sixteen miles 30,000 german in fantry fell which in addition to over 20,000 prisoners makes the total german loss more than an army corps the suddenness and vigor of the attack are clearly illustrated by the number of guns taken that the retreat was swift and bloody especially north of beausajour is shown by the frightful slaughter on a hill above the dormoise river the impetuous rush of the oncoming frenchmen charging with the bayonet drove the germans from the crest of hill 200 into the fiver below the shouts of the victorious french mingled with ihe screams of the fugitive germans as they plunged into the swift-running river i and as the current swept the germans off their feet they clutched one 1 another by the tucks in a desperate death grip il i not exaucer3ti o r to say that hi a few minutes the rushing strcfm accounted for several german

appeal has been made to wai street by the peace-loving and god-fearing elements of our popu lation not to lend the money of the american people to prolong directly or indirectly the war which is murdering the people of europe wall street has responded to this humanitarian appeal the wall street promoters of the european war loan have told the english and french commissioners they are unwilhng to murder the manhood of europe to make widows of the women orphans of the children and mourners of the mothers for five per cent but they will do it for five and one-half per cent they have said they would not be responsible for the pro traction of this wicked war the further destruction of in estimable tieasures in europe the inevitable and possibly disas trous complications in our own financial and political and diplo matic situation here in america for five per cent but they will for one-half of one per cent more they have sternly declared they will not repudiate america's high political principles and abandon america's lofty humani tarian ideals and imperil america's material progress and pros perity for anything less than that additional one-half of one per cent | the measure of the conscience the humanity and the pa triotism of wall street is now clearly defined and mathematically expressed it is just exactly one-half of one per cent the probabilities now are that the loan will be made the additional pound of flesh or half pound of flesh having been guaranteed but the punishment for america's evil participation in europe's wicked war will duly and deservedly come through the revolution and repudiation which are very likely to follow this war the first rumblings of revolution are already discernible in russia and discontent among the working classes is beginning to spread to an alarming extent in great britain if the war is sufficiently prolonged there undoubtedly will be a revolution and probably red anarchy in most of the nations involved in the war in the wake of revolution will follow repudiation of public obligations or depreciation so great that it will amount to re pudiation if any reader accustomed to the security of peace imagines such depreciation is impossible let him recall the fact that in french revolutionary times assignats depreciated to less than three per cent of their value and assignats too were better than treasury notes for they at least had the value of the land behind them perhaps even five and one-half per cent interest is insufficient inducement for a loan which in the eventualities of wax and revolution may become worth less than three cents on the dollar if any reader accustomed to the sound and stable government of this country believes revolution is not now possible in any european state let him ask himself frankly how long he believes the strong-bodied stern-minded plain people of europe are going to endure the immeasurable misery of this unnatural war into the hellish depths of which they have been precipitated by the vanities and inanities the enmities and jealousies of their arro gant and ambitious rulers revolutions are not respectful of royalty nor of constituted authority nor of the established order revolutions are not re gardful of the financial obligations of a deposed and discarded sys tem revolutions exhibit no such soft and suave consideration for money and the money power as calm and conservative govern ments do the heads of plutocrats and aristocrats dropped side by side into the baskets in the place de la concord from the impartial edge of the revolutionary guillotine and so it may be that the tongues of the european statesmen and financiers which so glibly guarantee this loan to-day may 101l mute in mouths eternally silent when the day of repayment arrives to establish their humanitarian obligations and avoid their hfavy and harrowing responsibilities the promoters of wall street say the \ articular marked dollars of this loan shall not be uÂ»ed for the purchase of arms and ammunition such a statement however is insincere and inconclusive we are increasing the financial resources of the countries to which we make this loan by the exact amount of the loan and their additional financial resources enable them to buy addi tional arms and ammunition # the retention of this loan in one particular place for one ap parent purpose is merely a bit
